MISO-GLAZED CATFISH WITH FRAGRANT GINGER SLAW

The sake, mirin and miso are available in the Asian foods section of most supermarkets, or at specialty food stores or Japanese markets. The mild, delicate flavor of the catfish is enhanced by the miso mixture and the ginger and herb-spiked slaw.

Preparation

Line a large rimmed baking sheet with foil. Preheat broiler.
To prepare catfish, whisk together the miso, mirin, sake, 2 tablespoons soy sauce, brown sugar and 1 teaspoon grated fresh ginger until well blended. Place catfish on the foil and brush generously with mixture. Let stand while preparing salad.
To make Fragrant Ginger Slaw, whisk together the 2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger, lime juice, granulated sugar and 1 tablespoon soy sauce, blending well until sugar dissolves. Place the cabbage, carrot, cucumber, bell pepper, mint and basil leaves and pickled ginger into a large mixing bowl; add the dressing mixture and toss gently. Season, as and if desired, with salt and freshly ground black pepper. Reserve.
Broil catfish in preheated oven 4 inches from heat source for about 7 minutes, or until fish flakes easily. Transfer to 4 serving plates along with the Fragrant Ginger Slaw. Sprinkle salad with crushed peanuts and serve immediately. Garnish with additional fresh basil and mint, if desired.
